Yea I was researching all of that and I'm going to check my local stores first. I'm also thinking of Malawi shrimp. Do you know anyone that sells them for cheap.

Thanks! I'm going to start with the easiest/ highest success type of shrimp I can get. Aka red cherry cherry shrimp. Hopefully I can learn the tricks of shrimp keeping with RCS and graduate up to either higher grade RCS like painted fire reds or a different species of shrimp. Anything you suggest I switch or change to alow the RCS to thrive better?

Aqueon 20 gal long
Aqueon hood
Plants and animals
Dwarf water lettuce
Frogbit
Java moss
Java fern
Pothos(in the hob filters)
Endlers
Coming soon shrimps
Soon leaving my pleco.
